I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Hi hazel, I have to ask....do you have some kind of amazing closeup lens?What kind of camera do you have?? I am so envious of these amazing photos and I must go and buy the lens right now . thegirlwithgreenthumbs.blogspot.com

I just have a Canon Ixus 105, compact point and shoot camera. No special lens although it does have a macro feature. I have to perservere and take many shots because it is auto focus and it sometimes focusses on the background. The trick is in the editing. I use the software that is in i-photo. I crop them and I am able to sharpen the focus, strengthen the colours, and adjust the exposure. Wish I did have a snazzy camera.
